You always play the two conference opponents that finish in same spot as you within their respective divisions. Rams and Giants finish #2 in NFC West and NFC East, and we play all of NFC South. Playing the Patriots would be a measure stick of whose the best team in the NFL considering they'll have loads of new talent next year. Colts are a sliding franchise. Playing the Chargers next year will be a fun game. I don't want to play the Ravens or Steelers since injury risk will be high. I'm happy with the schedule, not hard not easy.
